abstract = "This paper in the roadmap presents the research trends on antenna systems for Satellite Communication terminals. To address the challenges posed by this application in terms of wide fractional bandwidth and large field-of-view, several antenna concepts and architectures are being investigated, which can be grouped in three main technology areas: fully electronic scan, fully mechanical scan with unconventional steering mechanisms and beam switching. Design techniques, current results and future developments are outlined, considering representative examples for each technology area. ",
